Modern Languages and Classics

The Department of Modern Languages and Classics offers programs in both ancient and modern foreign languages and works closely with other programs and departments to combine foreign language training with other subjects. Classroom instruction in all languages is enhanced by electronic classrooms, multimedia language learning laboratories, and a variety of summer and academic year study abroad and student exchange programs. The department offers foreign language training for students who want to acquire a broad liberal education; enrich preparation for a career; travel, live, or work abroad; or work as translators. Foreign language education courses prepare students for the teaching profession. Students may earn credit for previous language study through either national advanced placement tests or departmentally administered placement tests. Students with prior foreign language study who wish to continue studying their language at the university may take departmentally administered placement tests during the summer orientation program or at any time during the academic year. These tests help determine the appropriate student class placement. Students who have completed more than two years of a foreign language in high school may not normally enroll for credit in the 101 level of that language, except in Chinese, German, and Japanese, or with permission of the chairperson. Students placed in any higher-level course will receive credit for the courses they test out of by earning grades of C or higher in the course into which they are placed. In order to receive placement credit, a student must have taken the placement test and have a record of the score on file. Native speakers who have completed high school studies in their native countries are not eligible for credit in the first- or second-year levels of their native languages. During either term of the senior year, majors in the department are required to complete a summative assessment. Guidelines will be provided by the department. Exceptions will be granted only with the permission of the department chairperson. Results are available to faculty members for assessing programmatic goals. Students should consult with foreign language faculty advisors about arranging courses to meet their needs. The 100- and 200-level courses in foreign languages are sequential and must be taken in order. Only work at the 200 level and above will apply toward any major or minor in the department, except for Chinese, Greek, Japanese (minor), and classical culture, in which first-year courses may be counted. MAJOR IN CLASSICAL CULTURE, 33 hours

It is strongly recommended that students take CC 105 before taking CC 201 or 202. CC 105 will count toward the 36 hours required for the major.
